Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine"


I just saw Mike Moore's documentary and loved it. The central question he addresses is why do American in very large numbers kill each other with guns? While it's not altogether clear that he provides an answer, the movie is both thought provoking and entertaining. I saw it at a suburban 30 screen multiplex in the heart of Republican country (Henry Hyde's congressional district), yet surprisingly, at least to me, the screen was sold out. Why aren't there more overtly political movies?

I've held a concealed weapons license for many years and rarely leave the house unarmed. Never had to use it and hope I never do but I don't intend to be a victim of violent crime. Here in Florida we have plenty of it.
The state of Vermont has virtually no gun control laws. Any law abiding citizen who wishes to carry a gun is free to. No permit required. The result? Lowest crime rate in the country. Criminals fear armed citizens more than the police.
